The rear seatbelts on both sides have cracked when installing car seats, it has happened to each side once, reported to Ford, no reply, replaced by dealer. I should not be able to break this piece putting in a car seat and tightening it. Other probem, several times vehicle has died at a stop in major intersections and then will not re-start, will turn over but not fire, like it is out of gas. Had it into dealer twice and they say they cannot find a problem.
